PetaGene's Genome UK considerations
Data storage, security, sharing and analysis
Genome UK is an exciting and ambitious new government initiative announced in September 2020 that builds upon the UK’s existing genomics organisations.
We have some recommendations for how to prevent some foreseeable problems, and to make it a real success.
Our recommendations cover key issues in:
-
- data security and privacy, including regional encryption and data minimisation
- reducing technical barriers to ensure efficient IT and lower costs
- the need for computational reproducibility, and supporting existing pipelines
- data integrity and information loss

FE Plus
Preserve all your sequencing data
Announced at BioData World Congress 2020, FE Plus is a feature of PetaSuite that enhances Functional Equivalence to preserve all the quality score data that regular FE pipelines discard, in a footprint that is typically up to 10% smaller than regular FE CRAM.
Instantly switch quality scores back to the original quality scores (OQs) in FE Plus BAM using just an environment variable setting, with the option to revert back to the original FASTQ.

Genomic data privacy
Achieving compliance while enabling scientific progress
Join the discussion on the impact of regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA on how personal health data, including genomic data, is stored, accessed and shared.
In this Elixir sponsored webinar, PetaGene demonstrates how its encryption platform, PetaSuite Protect, permits organisations to adhere to these regulations while enabling scientific collaboration to continue in a secure and compliant manner.
We hear from Sarah Peter, Infrastructure and Architecture Engineer at the University of Luxembourg and Dr Shaman Narayanasamy, Staff Scientist at Megeno on their perspectives and how they are approaching the new regulations and requirements.
